279919 ÷ 98 
Our goal is to divide 279919 by 98.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 98

On to step 2:
27 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 98

Step 3:
98 goes into 279 2 times with a remainder of 83.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 196 from 279.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 83 and continue with: 839 / 98

On to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 839 8 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 784 away from 839, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 551 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
98 can be fit into 551 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 285.0
Deduct 490 from 551 and we're left with 61.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 619 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 goes into 619 6 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2856.0
Subtract 588 from 619 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
98 can be fit into 310 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2856.3
Subtracting 294 from 310 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
160 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2856.31
Subtract 98 from 160 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 98 fits into 620 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2856.316
If we subtract 588 from 620, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
98 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2856.3163
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
260 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2856.31632
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 196 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
640 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2856.316326
Subtract 588 from 640 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 520 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2856.3163265
Subtract 490 from 520 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
300 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2856.31632653
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2856.31632653 with a remaining 6e-09.
